Always the best course of action. I can still let you know how it is by the end of each game So I played a bit today after a longer break and had pretty much no problem getting back into it, so it definitely has that going for it.

Well there’s that, but it’s mostly that you visit various towns, spend some time there and handle some mini stories there. They’re mostly disconnected from each other. It does feel like a longer tv anime in that regard.

To be fair, though the expected anime tropes are present, for the most part the characters and world building get the job done to the point that you don’t feel like you’re playing generic weebtrout mk. 87, though apparently the Cold Steel protagonist is much more of a typical bland anime boy than the Sky protagonist, who is a legitimate joy. I feel the bigger problem is that so far not a lot has really happened and there’s a lot of slice of lifey stuff, but I’m hoping this build up will make whatever comes later more rewarding.

So Trails in the Sky is definitely slow. I personally don’t see what the fuss is about yet, but the main protagonist is very endearing and it’s nice how fleshed out the world is. Though apparently it isn’t until Sky Second Chapter that things really start getting interesting. I’ll probably be able to say more on that once I finish the first game.

Welp, just beat Type 0 for the first time. Overall I’m a bit mixed on the game, but I definitely loved the final chapter, as abrupt as it was. I think my core issue is that the gameplay never really clicked with me. I did enjoy the story, but wish that parts of it weren’t gated behind a second playthrough, since right now I don’t feel like going through that again. Still, it was definitely one of the most unique FFs out there and it had some incredibly powerful moments. The Alexander summoning is going to stick with me for a while. And I agree that it’s a far more interesting take on the FNC mythos than anything any of the XIIIs ever did.

I'm always split on these articles. So many of these games are great and I have retroactively said a few of them made the list, but occasionally something comes along that I really want to love but the game just won't let me. Tactics Ogre is in a weird place for me because the remake and the original are pretty different in some meaningful ways, so much of this review pertains to the remake due to having only played a little bit of the original.

Well I fell into the Silent Hill series rather late. By the time I had played the series, the "glory years" were over and fans were knee deep in Konami trying to take the series in a different direction without Team Silent. I was a huge fan of the first two entries of the series, being instantly sucked into the second entry and surprised how much I really enjoyed the first one. So it came as a bit

I was having a serious reservation about whether I was going to add this to my Top 100 list or place it here. I decided it would go here for now, but part of me feels it could be like Demon's Souls and make the jump to My Top 100.

SaGa is a weird franchise. A JRPG series made for enthusiast who feel they've seen it all. From the Gameboy entries where you built a ragtag group filled with robots and monster to climb a tower/tree to visit

I mentioned this in my Chain of Memories entry for my Top 100 List, but Kingdom Hearts and I have a really awkward history with each other. This is a franchise that has always been more of a guilty pleasure for me than something I actively love. Funny enough, it’s not even the basic premise that bothers me. While Final Fantasy meets Disney mash-up sounds contrived, KH has always managed to make it work since this

Top 100 List Blah blah blah…. I ended up re-writing this entry because the original was a little more bitter and more like just a genuine rant than a review. With that said, a little backstory is in order.

Continuing my trend of snubbed entries in franchises, we now come back to a series that was very near and dear to me. At this point in time, the story of
